WINNIPEG — Taking pride in your neighborhood and home means sprucing it up on occasion, but for some, it can be a daunting task.

That’s where Take Pride Winnipeg and it’s Brush UP volunteers stepped in to help Saturday.

“We paint homes for those who are either physically or financially unable to paint the outside of their homes themselves,” said Tom Ethans, executive director of Take Pride Winnipeg. “Then we get teams of companies to get their employees, as a team-building exercise, to come out and paint the homes.”
